Our little fellow (Polo) is settling into his new surroundings well this morning. Last night confusion could be expected - and we had to set a lot of ground rules with our boys. He used his paper to pee, had his late supper and played with some toys. This morning he was pretty active playing with toys, investigating the rooms in our house, later checking out animals around the farm.
What an amazing little fellow - thank-you!
Keep in touch any time!
Cheers!

Hi Dorthe,
Patches is home and doing fine. I sure missed her today. When I went to pick her up this afternoon after her spaying and micro chipping, her vet was sitting holding her just like a baby. She is so sweet and I'm so happy we adopted her. She sleeps in our bed at night but she will sleep in the cage for tonight (maybe). I'm sure she'll want in the bed though and I don't want her to get lonely. I want you to know how happy I am you chose me to be her new mom. I could never give her back.
Again thanks to you both.

Maze is just amazing, she starts puppy kindergarten next week (it was delayed with the lockdown). She is so easy to live with and is such a happy puppy, just a joy to have around! I also have her spay booked for March, I have her booked in for an ovary-sparing spay with a highly-respected vet in our area.

Thinking of adding a Russell Terrier puppy to your family? I wouldn't hesitate to tell anyone to check out Dorthe and Randall's puppies.
I first met River in November 2019 and was greeted by her friendly mother and then River and the rest of her littermates came running into the room. They played with me for a while and River ended up falling asleep in my arms.
I picked River up two days before Christmas. She adapted to my home quickly and was super easy to housetrain. River has the friendliest personality of all the terriers I have owned. This is due to the way Dorthe breeds her dogs. I know sound temperaments are important to this breeder. I follow several of the dogs Dorthe has raised on social media and it appears those dogs have the same temperament as my girl.
Many times I have been asked if I will sell River to someone I have met. The answer is NO she is staying with me.
River is a happy dog, always looking forward to meeting someone new and has her tail held high and is very confident. This is all due to knowledgeable breeding and a love of this breed.
If you are thinking of a Russell Terrier, then Dorthe has the friendliest and healthiest puppies you can purchase. Your new best friend is waiting for you here.

Hard to believe a week has gone by! Just wanted to tell you I love him more this week than last♥️ He is like medicine to everyone I know including me❤️
I am transitioning Guinness to ‘Open Farm’ humanely & sustainably sourced puppy recipe food. It is a healthy blend of humanely raised chicken, wild- caught salmon & natural superfoods🤗
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this little guy💝

I just wanted to give you a little update on how Logan is doing. He is adjusting well and giving us so much joy! He hasn’t given us trouble at night . He sleeps in my daughter’s room and stays quite the through the night! He is doing well at the potty. (Few accidents when I missed the sign) but so far he is doing wonderfully well!
Thank you letting us have him and choosing Logan for us. He has a very calm temperament even if my children are excited and a bit loud around him!
He is playful and
lets us know when
he wanted to play
or just cuddle.
He is such a joy to
have!

Chico (Tonka x Gucci) has adapted very well. He's very, very active for sure. Knows already how to tell us he needs to go outside (up to now we've had nothing inside the house). He also had a blast of a weekend with the Schnauzer of our son's girlfriend
Rachel, Huntsville, ON
What a joy she is. She seems very happy and responsive. Calmest JRT I've ever met. She didn't even react to the groomers cat.
Vet checkup went great, all positive.
She doesn't bark? Not one bark since we
picked her up.

Vincent and I are completely in love with little Ozzy! He is such a happy, friendly, good natured little guy and so, so smart! It took him just a few days to be crate trained, and a couple of weeks to be completely potty trained, with absolutely no accidents in the house. He breezed through Puppy School and quickly learned the basic commands; sit, lay down, watch, stay, drop it, leave it, and come, as well as a few more that we are teaching him at home. He wants to be friends with every person and every dog he meets, no matter what the size...he is more drawn to big dogs and will play for as long as we let him! He is never aggressive and only wants to say "Hi" and then roll and jump and run around with his new dog friends. We had no idea until we started taking him for walks in our neighbourhood that there were so many dogs in the area, and Ozzy has quickly risen to celebrity status among their owners because of his gentle and happy go lucky nature. He definitely sees me as 'mom' or his go to person and wants to be with me 24/7, and he has developed a very close bond with Vinny as well. He has been the absolute best addition to our little family, and we can't imagine our lives without him now!
We do think he would do very well with another dog, and if you are planning on breeding another litter, we have talked about the possibility of getting a female if that happens to work out. Please let us know if/when you plan another litter and we will see where things stand with Ozzy, his training, his maturity, and whether or not another dog would work for him and us!
We can't thank you enough for allowing us to include Ozzy as part of our lives! He is the best dog ever and we are thrilled! I've attached a few photos so you can see how much he has grown.
Warm regards,
Su
